Streaming

Hello Family,   I`m old school 76 I just don`t understand this streaming and dac business. I`m still stuck on my RTR`s, Cd player and  PASS lots of power.  It sounds very interesting.  I was once told that I could also do some serious taping using my RTR`s I`d would like someone to tell me what gear I would need and how to set it up forget my desk top or lap top.   I`ve heard terminology used like Innos zin mini, Bluesound Node, Aurender Are they streamers? what is Roon, Qobuz, Plex? whats the purpose of a dac? I`m on fixed income `what`s the best gear I can get for 1500 mostly buying used gear to began. Thanks

Looks like you have internet-your post. 

For a retired person with a love for music and time on their hands

I think Streaming would be very entertaining.

Other costs:

Monthly music provider- about $15 for CD quality or better. Qobuz, Tidal, Amazon

 

You can still find and play new music for nothing. Spotify and many others.

 

If you want help finding and sorting your streamed music

you can spend another $15/ month of Roon's Service. 

 

The IFI gear seems to be a deal. As are Topping DACs.

 

Initial setup is the hurdle. Find someone who streams to help you.

 

Keep us posted on your progress!!
